Introduction to the Asteroids Report

Asteroids orbit around the Sun just as planets do, but they are generally smaller than planets, and some of their physical characteristics and orbital characteristics are different from those of planets. Some objects are classified as being dwarf planets, and these objects are more similar to planets than most asteroids but do not fully have the characteristics that are typical of a planet. Pluto was once regarded officially as a planet but has been reclassified as a dward planet, and the asteroid Ceres is now widely regarded as a dwarf planet. Of the hundreds of thousands of asteroids that orbit around our Sun, over 1,000 of them have been given names that are related to myths, legends, literary or historical figures of interest, or places. Some astrologers believe that asteroids have a significance and relevance to human life just as the planets do, and that the astrological significance of the asteroid is often related in some way to the name of the asteroid. In this report 1,425 asteroids are analyzed to see if they are conjunct in zodiac longitude the Sun, Moon, or planets in the birth chart within a 1 degree orb. If the conjunction occurs, information about the asteroid is provided. Those astrologers who include hundreds of asteroids in their interpretations believe that the asteroids often related to very specific events in your life. The names of close family and friends and situations that you encounter in life often reflect the nature of the asteroids that are conjunct planets in your chart. You may not be extremely passionate about the subject area related to the asteroid but somehow, as if by fate, you are drawn into situations and circumstances that bring the qualities of the asteroid into your life. By reading your Asteroids Report you can see for yourself if the asteroids conjunct the Sun, Moon, and planets in your birth chart, provide keys to many of the situations that you encounter in your life.

The Sun

Your Basic Personality: Your Style and the Way You Do Things Sun Conjunct Altona, Orb: 0 deg. 24 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Altona, Germany, the location of the observatory at which German astronomer H.C. Schumacher began publishing the journal Astronomical Notes. Altona is the westernmost urban borough of the city-state of Hamburg, Germany's second largest city. The Port of Hamburg, located on the River Elbe, is the second largest port in Europe, and the ninth largest in the world. It is known as Germany's "Gateway to the World", and is almost as old as the city itself. Hamburg began as a single castle (then called Hammaburg) built by Charlemagne in 808 CE. Its strategic trading location made it a desirable target for raiders, as well as a great asset. Since its establishment, Hamburg has been invaded by the Vikings, Poles and Danes. In the year 1350 the Black Plague killed nearly 60% of the city's inhabitants. Hamburg was also ravaged by the air raids of World War II. Despite these difficulties, Hamburg has always succeeded in rebuilding itself and renewing its prosperity. Today the Hamburg metropolitan area is home to over 4.3 million people. It is a thriving center of art, music, theatre and commerce. This asteroid may confer importance to Hamburg, and particularly to Altona. Cosmic and celestial studies may be exalted. Sun Conjunct Atossa, Orb: 0 deg. 45 min. Atossa was an ancient Persian queen of the Achaemenid Dynasty. She was the daughter of Cyrus the Great, the wife of Darius I and the mother of Xerxes I. This asteroid may give a position of social and/or political authority, perhaps connected to family lineage. The region of Persia (now Iran) may also hold personal significance. Sun Conjunct Diana, Orb: 0 deg. 52 min. Diana is the Roman equivalent of the Greek Artemis, goddess of the wilderness, hunting and the Moon. She was conflated with the earlier Moon goddess Selene, as her twin brother Apollo was conflated with the Sun god Helios. Artemis and Apollo were the children of Zeus and a mortal woman named Leto. Artemis was typically depicted as a huntress with a bow and arrow, often followed by her loyal hunting dogs and surrounded by deer. She was portrayed in myth as a virginal, independent, solitary and mysterious character known to roam the dark forest by the light of the Moon, accompanied only by animals and woodland spirits.



Her twin brother also carried a bow and arrow, besides which they could not have been more different. Apollo symbolized the clear light of reason and order. He supported the human endeavors of athleticism, music, poetry, prophecy and city building. Artemis represented a much more primordial and instinctive facet of existence. She was invoked for aid in the bloody business of childbirth as well as in the hunt. Artemis was associated with Hekate, the psychopompic and nocturnal goddess of the Crossroads, as well as with the Etruscan goddess Artume (possibly her prototype). Artemis was worshipped throughout ancient Greece, especially at her temples at Delos (her mythic birthplace), Mounikhia and Brauron. Her temple at Ephesus in Ionia (modern day Turkey) was among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Deer and cypress trees are sacred to this goddess. In Roman religion, Diana formed a holy trinity with two other divinities, Egeria and Virbius. Egeria, whose name means "Advisor" or "Counselor", was a nymph who dispensed prophetic wisdom in her sacred grove. Virbius, whose name means "Twice a Man", was the dying and resurrected god of the forest. Servius Tullius, the 6th legendary king of early Rome dedicated a shrine to Diana on Aventine Hill in the mid 6th Century BCE. August 13th, her traditional feast day, was celebrated there. This asteroid may grant emotional autonomy, a love of solitude, comfort with animals, an innate understanding of the natural world, athletic ability, a good intuition and keen instincts. Nocturnal and lunar themes may hold personal significance. Hunting and midwifery (in the literal or symbolic sense) are both favored pursuits. Sun Conjunct Gryphia, Orb: 0 deg. 16 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Andreas Gryphius (1616-1664), a German lyric poet and dramatist of the Baroque period. Gryphius was primarily noted for his historical tragedies. He grew up in the midst of the Thirty Years War and witnessed the destruction of much of Germany, as well as being orphaned and forced to leave his home town. These struggles may have inspired the macabre and melancholy tone which infuses much of his work. This asteroid may give an inclination towards literary, poetic and theatrical pursuits. There may be an interest in dark, tragic and morbid subject matter. Sun Conjunct Hatshepsut, Orb: 0 deg. 18 min. Hatshepsut was the 5th Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty. She was not the first female ruler of Egypt. Others such as Merneith of the 1st Dynasty and Nimaethap of the



3rd Dynasty set the precedent. She did, however, have the longest known reign of any woman indigenous to Egypt. The exact dates of her reign are debated, but they may have been from around 1503 until 1482 BCE. Hatshepsut was noted for her foreign policy, which focused primarily on trade rather than warfare. She re-established the trade routes which had been previously disrupted by the Hyksos invasions. She also sent major trade envoys to the Land of Punt, a nation which may have existed in the Horn of Africa. One such expedition brought 31 live frankincense trees back to be planted in Egyptian soil. This was the first recorded attempt to import foreign trees into Egypt. Myrrh, ebony wood, ivory and animals were also imported from Punt. Hatshepsut also distinguished herself by being one of the most prolific monument builders in ancient Egypt. She employed the famous architect Ineri to construct many temples. Older temple complexes were also refurbished under her rule. Hatshepsut was the only child of the Pharaoh Thutmose I and his wife, Queen Ahmose. She had one sister who died in childhood. Her father had several sons with his other wife, Mutnofret. Hatshepsut married one of these half-brothers, Thutmose II. They had one daughter, Neferune. This asteroid may bestow a prestigious position in society You may assume a role uncommon for those of their gender. A wise, knowledgeable and judicious nature may manifest. There may also be a tendency to engage in ambitious architectural projects, as well as successful diplomatic and commercial ventures. Sun Conjunct Hohensteina, Orb: 0 deg. 32 min. This asteroid was named for the German village of Hohenstein, located near the town of Bad Schwalbach in the Taunus mountain range. The village was named for the Hohenstein Castle, built around 1190 CE by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen. Hohenstein was the hometown of the wife of this asteroid's discoverer, Franz Kaiser. Her family name, Breder, derives from Hohenstein castle's Order of Knighthood, Breder von Hohenstein. This asteroid may draw attention to this specific geographic location, as well as to the nation of Germany in general. Marriage and family heritage may become subjects of importance. The Medieval era (in which Hohenstein Castle was built) may also hold personal significance. Sun Conjunct Jenny, Orb: 0 deg. 41 min. This asteroid was named for Jenny Adolfine Kessler, a friend of its discoverer August Kopff, on the occasion of her engagement. The name Jenny is a short form of Jennifer, the Cornish variation of the Norman-derived Middle English Guinevere, a form of the Old Welsh Gwynhwyfar, meaning "the White



Fairy". Guinevere was the Queen Consort of the legendary British King Arthur. According to medieval histories and romances Arthur led Britain to defend itself from the invasions of the Saxons in the early 6th Century CE. It is a highly debated matter as to whether he was a real person or merely a fabrication of legend. In either case, he represents the archetype of the True King, destined to rule for the good of his people as an embodiment of their character and will. The Arthurian legend cycle evolved to include the chivalric adventures of the Knights of the Round Table and their sacred quest for the Holy Grail. These stories presented a romantic and idealistic portrayal of knighthood which lodged itself firmly in the Western imagination. In Arthurian legends, Queen Guinevere is primarily noted for her love affair with Sir Lancelot, King Arthur's most trusted knight. Their dishonesty to Arthur eventually leads to his downfall. This asteroid may draw attention to issues of friendship, trust, loyalty and marital fidelity. The country of Britain may hold personal significance, as may the Medieval era. Sun Conjunct Leonora, Orb: 0 deg. 31 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Mary Leonora Snow, the wife of Arthur Snow, who calculated this asteroid's orbit. The female given name Leonora is a variation of Eleanor. Eleanor of Aquitaine was the first known person to bear this name. Its etymology is obscure. It may derive from either the Latin lenire, "to heal", the Greek eleos, "compassion", or the Hebrew Eliora, "God is my light". Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most powerful, wealthy and influential women in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages. She was first married to King Louis VII of France, then to King Henry II of England. She acted as Regent of England while her son Richard the Lionheart was away fighting in the third Crusade. Eleanor of Aquitaine was a patron of literature, supporting such notable writers as Chretien de Troyes (who contributed to the Arthurian legend cycle), Anglo-Norman poet Wace, and French romantic poet Benoit de Sainte-More. This asteroid may ascribe personal import to spousal relationships. It may also grant courage, a love of literature, and a position of social influence. Sun Conjunct Xanthe, Orb: 0 deg. 07 min. In Greek mythology, Xanthe was among the sisterhood of sea spirits known as the



Oceanids. The Oceanids were the daughters of the marine Titans (primordial gods) Oceanus and Tethys. They were water nymphs who presided over various springs, rivers, oceans, inlets, lakes, marshes and clouds. Xanthe's name means "Blond-Haired". This asteroid may ascribe importance to aquatic and oceanic matters. The animistic concept of spirits inhabiting natural features may play a role in life. An affinity for blondness may also manifest.

The Moon Your Moods, Deeper Feelings, Home, and Family

Moon Conjunct Amber, Orb: 0 deg. 14 min. This asteroid was named for the granddaughter of its discoverer, American astronomer Norman G. Thomas. Amber is fossilized tree resin. It is often considered a gemstone, although it is not fully mineralized. In ancient Greece amber was known as electron. It was correlated to the Sun god Helios, who was sometimes invoked as Elector, the Awakener. The modern English word electricity is derived from this ancient root. In 1891 Irish physicist George Stoney named the negatively charged subatomic particle an electron because of the electrostatic properties of amber. Amber deposits are abundant in the Baltics and Northern Europe. Lithuanian and Norse myths describe this substance as the tears of a goddess. This asteroid may give fiery, active and vital qualities. Electricity may play a prominent role in life. An emphasis on the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren may also be implied. Moon Conjunct Ararat, Orb: 0 deg. 45 min. Mount Ararat is a two-peaked snow-capped dormant volcano which sits on the border of Turkey and Armenia. The Greater Ararat is the tallest mountain in Turkey. Judeo-Christian tradition correlates this mountain with the one upon which Noah's Ark finally came to rest after the deluge. In this way it is symbolic of hope for continued survival. The name Ararat may be derived from King Ara the Beautiful, a hero of Armenian lore.



According to legend, Ara was so handsome that Queen Semiramis of Assyria waged war against the Armenians just to get him. This asteroid may grant salvation from storms and natural disasters. It may also confer exceptional beauty. The geographic location of Mount Ararat itself may also play an important role in life. Moon Conjunct Bal, Orb: 0 deg. 44 min. Bal is a parish on Gotland Island, Sweden. Gotland is the largest island in the Baltic Sea. The native residents of Gotland are known in Swedish as Gutar, an enthonym identical to Goths. The island has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and was a major center of Viking activity. This asteroid may ascribe personal significance to this geographic location, its history and its culture. Moon Conjunct Flora, Orb: 0 deg. 51 min. In ancient Rome, Flora was the lovely goddess of flowers and the season of Spring. Her name now refers to all plant life. Her festival of Floralia, traditionally held in late April, celebrated fertility and the renewal of the life cycle. Flora's Greek equivalent Chloris, whose name means "pale green", "yellowish green" or "fresh", lent her name to chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants which allows them to absorb carbon dioxide. Flora was married to Favonius, whose name means "Favorable", the god of the West Wind. This asteroid may confer an affinity for plants, especially flowering ones. It may also grant the ability to renew or reinvigorate oneself. A sense of joy and excitement is possible. Fertility may become a prevalent theme throughout life. Moon Conjunct Galatea, Orb: 0 deg. 34 min. In Greek mythology, Galatea (whose name means "She who is Milk-White") was the man-made lover of Pygmalion. Pygmalion was a sculptor who lived on the island of Cyprus. He had become disillusioned with women and all but given up on the idea of marriage, when he fell madly in love with the statue he was sculpting out of ivory. When Pygmalion finished fashioning the form of Galatea, he offered her libations and begged her to come to life. He eventually enlisted the help of the goddess Aphrodite, who took pity on him and breathed life into the statue. Pygmalion and Galatea were happily married and had a son named Paphos. In some versions of the story they also had a daughter named Metharme. The tale of Pygmalion and Galatea's strange romance was interpreted by Christians of the



Middle Ages as a warning against the dangers of idolatry. The Neo-Classicists and Romantics of the 18th and 19th Centuries, however, lauded it as a beautiful story celebrating the triumph of love. It has also been interpreted as an allegory of the narcissistic nature of artists. This asteroid may draw attention to the concept of bringing inanimate objects to life. A highly creative and innovative nature may manifest. There may also be a tendency to fall in love with ones own creations, or to prefer new inventions to that which already exists. Moon Conjunct Notburga, Orb: 0 deg. 08 min. This asteroid was named for Saint Notburga (also known as Notburga of Rottenburg or Notburga of Eben). Saint Notburga (1265-1313) was a holy figure in Germany's Neckar Valley, where this asteroid was discovered. Saint Notburga was known for her charity to the poor. She worked as a cook in the household of Count Henry of Rottenburg. She gave the leftover food from the noble house to the hungry. When her mistress discovered this she ordered Notburga to give the leftovers to the pigs instead. Afterwards, Notburga saved some of her own food to redistribute among those less fortunate. She also worked as a farmhand in Eben am Achensee, where she had an altercation with an employer who wanted her to continue working in the fields when she wanted to attend Church. According to legend, Notburga settled this dispute by throwing her sickle in the air, where it hovered as if held by an invisible hand. Saint Notburga is traditionally depicted in art with an ear of corn and/or flowers in one hand and a sickle in the other. Sometimes her sickle is shown suspended in the air. She is the patron saint of servants and peasants. This asteroid may give an inclination towards work involving service, cooking or agriculture. Religious devotion is possible. A generous and philanthropic character may develop You may also involve themselves in conflict with an employer. The geographic region containing the Neckar River may hold personal significance. Moon Conjunct Parthenope, Orb: 0 deg. 40 min. In Greek mythology, Parthenope (whose name means "Maiden Voice") was a siren. Sirens were legendary bird women possessing the power to enchant men with their seductive singing voices. Often these avian femme fatales led sailors to their deaths on jagged cliffs. According to Ovid the sirens were originally the handmaidens of Persephone. When the young goddess was abducted by Hades, the god of the Underworld, her mother Demeter gave the sirens wings so that they might search for her. Their bewitching voices called



out to Persephone as they looked high and low for her, to no avail. The sirens were portrayed in ancient art as part bird and part woman. In their earliest representations they are birds with large women's heads. In later depictions they are beautiful nude female figures with bird legs and/or wings. In post-Classical folklore the sirens came to be portrayed with the body parts of fish rather than birds. The word for "mermaid" in most Romance languages is derived from their name (i.e. La Sirena in Spanish). Several great heroes of Greek mythology faced the peril of the siren song. Odysseus was warned by the sorceress Circe of the danger they presented. He ordered his crew to tie him to the mast of the ship and to plug their own ears with wax until they left the domain of the sirens. When Jason and the crew of the Argo heard the eerie song the sacred musician Orpheus drowned it out with his own singing until the danger subsided. The term "siren song" has come to describe any enticing appeal which leads to ruin. This asteroid may bequeath enchanting and seductive qualities. A talent for vocal expression may manifest You may create hazardous circumstances for others as a result of their allure. Moon Conjunct Siva, Orb: 0 deg. 35 min. This asteroid was named for the Hindu god Siva (Shiva), the Great Destroyer. Shiva (whose name means "Auspicious One") is a common deity to all branches of Hinduism. Along with Brahma and Vishnu, he is among the Trimurti, or the trinity of gods embodying the universal forces of Creation, Preservation and Destruction. He is also the Supreme God of the Shaiva tradition. In the Smarta tradition, Shiva is one of the five primary forms of god. Known as the "Lord of the Dance", Shiva is commonly portrayed dancing gracefully and trampling upon Maya, the spirit of ignorance. Shiva's primary consort is the goddess Parvati. Parvati is the reincarnation of Shiva's first wife, Sati. When Sati died Shiva adopted the austere lifestyle of an ascetic in mourning. While he turned away from the affairs of the world, the demon Taraka wrecked havoc on Earth. Sati was reborn as Parvati, who with the help of Priti and Rati, the goddesses of love and longing, regained Shiva's affection and ultimately re-engaged him in his divine occupation. In some composite figures Shiva and Parvati are combined to form a half-male half-female deity representative of cosmic order and harmony. Shiva and Parvati had two sons, Skanda, a warrior god, and the benevolent elephant-headed Ganesha. Ganesha is known as the Remover of Obstacles, the Lord of Beginnings and the Patron of Letters. He aids in facilitating growth and learning, and supports the pursuit of knowledge.



Shiva is also equated with the archaic god Rudra, whose name means "the Howler". Rudra is associated with wind, storms and hunting. He is commonly portrayed with a bow and arrow. He is attested to in the Rig Veda, which describes him as "fierce like a formidable wild beast". He is also the father of the Maruts, a brotherhood of violent and aggressive storm deities in the service of Indra, the king of the gods. This asteroid may grant personal importance to natural forces of destruction, dissolution and purification. Dramatic transformations may be undergone. Fierce and aggressive tendencies may manifest. A love of truth and knowledge may develop, as may a talent for dance and other pursuits requiring strength and a sense of rhythm. Moon Conjunct Vassar, Orb: 0 deg. 33 min. This asteroid was named for Vassar College, where Maud Worcester Makemson (1891-1977), who first computed its orbit, taught astronomy. Vassar College is a private liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, New York. It was established in 1861 as a women's college, becoming co-educational in 1969. It is currently one of the most elite and selective colleges in America, being attended by only about 2,400 students. Vassar College was named for its founder, Anglo-American brewer and merchant Matthew Vassar (1792-1868). Its first faculty member was Maria Mitchell (1818-1889), the first professional female astronomer in the United States. The English surname Vassar comes from the French Vavasour (or Vasseur), meaning "a Vassal". In the feudal system of Medieval Europe, a vassal was a person who served a feudal lord or monarch and paid tribute to him in exchange for military protection. This asteroid may grant personal importance to institutions of higher education, especially Vassar College and other historically all-female schools. Endeavors involving astronomy and the liberal arts may be favored. Hierarchical social systems such as the feudal system may also hold personal significance. Moon Conjunct Zelinda, Orb: 0 deg. 40 min. The female given name Zelinda is a form of Sieglinde (or Sigelinde, Seiglinde), which is comprised of the Germanic elements sigu, meaning "victory", and linde, meaning "soft, tender, gentle". It may therefore be interpreted as "Gentle Victory". The name Sigelinde is perhaps best known as that of a character in Richard Wagner's 1870 opera Die Walkure (The Valkyrie), the second of the four operas of his epic Ring of the Nibelungs cycle. This series of operas was inspired by Norse mythology, particularly the Volsunga Saga and the Poetic Edda. It is from Die Walkure that the famous musical



composition the Ride of the Vakyries originated. In this tale the supreme god Wotan (Odin) makes a deal with two giants named Fasolt and Fafnir. In exchange for building his mighty hall of Valhalla, Wotan says he will give the giants Freya, the goddess of love. When they accomplish the task, however, Wotan is unwilling to surrender Freya. The giants say they will accept the treasure of Alberich as payment instead. Alberich is a wealthy dwarf, specifically a type of dwarf known as a Nibelung. His treasure hoard is legendary, especially since he had stolen the magical gold of the water spirits known as the Rhine maidens, and used it to craft a ring which would give its bearer power over the entire world if he or she completely renounced love. After stealing Alberich's treasure, Wotan was intrigued by the power of the ring, but refused to give up love. He cursed the ring and gave the treasure hoard to Fasolt and Fafnir as promised. As soon as they got it, the curse of the ring took effect, and Fafnir slew Fasolt. He then used Tarnhelm, a magical helmet with the power of shape-shifting (a piece among the many treasures of Alberich) to transform himself into a monstrous dragon. In this form Fafnir retreated to a remote cavern to guard his new and plentiful wealth. Wotan feared Alberich's revenge if he regained the ring, so he gathered around him a formidable army. He did this with the help of his daughters the Valkyries, a class of brave and ferocious warrior spirits. Chief among these was Brunhilde. Wotan also began to set events in motion which would lead the ring to fall into the hands of a pure-hearted hero free from divine influence. With a mortal woman he fathered a set of twins named Siegmund and Sieglinde. When the twins were young a marauding tribe killed their mother and abducted Sieglinde. Siegmund became a loner and a misfit. At the beginning of Die Walkure, he has taken refuge in a stranger's cottage after fleeing from a clan who he had attacked for trying to make a woman marry a man she didn't love. As he tells his tale to his hostess, she realizes that he is her long lost brother. Sieglinde and Siegmund are joyfully reunited, but Sieglinde's brutish husband Hunding tells him that the clan which he attacked were his kinsmen, and although he is welcome to stay the night, he must fight him in the morning to avenge his family's honor. An incestuous liason between the reunited twins is implied. Sieglinde tells Siegmund that a long time ago a mysterious stranger plunged a sword into a nearby tree, but no one has ever been able to remove it. She believes that he was destined to wield it. Indeed Wotan left the magical sword there for his son. From the realm of the gods, Wotan watches these events transpire. He tells his Valkyrie daughter Brunhilde to aid Siegmund in defeating Hunding. Wotan's wife Fricka (Frigg) enters and chastises him for this plan, pointing out that Siegmund is in no way free from



the influence of the gods, having been set on his path by Wotan. Fricka also tells her husband that Siegmund is guilty of adultery and incest. She convinces him not to aid the young warrior in his fight against Hunding, nor to let the Valkyries do so. Brundhilde goes to Siegmund and warns him that his death is imminent. She invites him to go with her to the realm of the gods, but he refuses to go without Sieglinde. Brunhilde is compassionate towards Siegmund and decides to help him, going against Wotan's orders. During the fight between Siegmund and Hunding, Wotan himself interferes, shattering Siegmund's magic sword with his spear. Hunding slays Siegmund, and Brunhilde leads Sieglinde away to safety. Wotan then kills Hunding. Brunhilde takes Sieglinde to a meeting of the Valkyries, but they refuse to offer her refuge, fearing Wotan's wrath. Brunhilde declares that Sieglinde, now pregnant with the child of her dead brother, will give birth to the world's greatest hero, Siegfried. She advises Sieglinde to flee. Brunhilde is then confronted by angry Wotan, who banishes her from Valhalla, transforming her into a mortal woman. This asteroid may give unintentional involvement in epic dramas beyond one's control You may be separated from family members early in life, but later be reunited with them. Much tragedy may be experienced throughout life, particularly in the area of marriage. Exceptional children may also be produced.

Mercury How You Process Information and Communicate

Mercury Conjunct Alhambra, Orb: 0 deg. 05 min. The Alhambra is a palace and fortress in Granada, Spain. Its name comes from the Arabic Al Hamra, meaning "the Red One". This title refers to the reddish color of the clay out of which much of the complex is constructed. The Alhambra was built by the Moorish rulers of Spain near the end of the 12th Century. It is a testament to the sublimity of Spanish Islamic architecture and craftsmanship during that time period. In its early days the palace was a haven for artists, poets and intellectuals. In 1492 Ferdinand II of Aragon conquered the Moors and began a new era of Christian rule in Spain. In 1527 Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, built his own palace within the enclosure of the Alhambra. Today the Alhambra is still admired for its beauty and artistry. This asteroid may give architectural or aesthetic abilities. An emphasis on intellectual exchange and cultural advancement is possible. Themes of protection and defense may also pervade life, and many struggles for power may be experienced. Mercury Conjunct Ceraskia, Orb: 0 deg. 30 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Russian astronomer Vitol'd Karlovich Tseraskii.



It may confer an interest in science and the study of the stars. The land of Russia may also hold personal relevancy. Mercury Conjunct Charis, Orb: 0 deg. 08 min. In Greek myth, a Charis was one of the three Charities, goddesses of charm, beauty, fertility and kindness. The Charities names were Aglaea ("Beauty"), Euphrasyne ("Mirth") and Thalia ("Good Cheer"). This sisterhood was thought to foment feelings of friendship and benevolence among people. They were either the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome (whose name means "Far Wandering") or Dionysus and Aphrodite. Homer said that they were among the entourage of lovely Aphrodite. The Charities were also associated with the mystery religion of the Earth goddess Demeter. This asteroid may bestow the blessings of camaraderie, mutual affection, harmony, joy and ease You may bring happiness to others. Mercury Conjunct Dallas, Orb: 0 deg. 54 min. This asteroid was named for the city of Dallas, Texas. Dallas was founded in 1841 in a region originally inhabited by the Caddo tribe of American Indians. It was named for George Mifflin Dallas, the 11th Vice President of the United States. Dallas served under President James K. Polk. The surname Dallas is of Scottish and English origin and literally means "dale house" or "valley dwelling". Today Dallas is the third largest city in Texas and the eight largest city in the United States. It is also one of the fastest-growing metropolises, and boasts one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. The industries of banking, commerce, communications, technology and transportation flourish there. This asteroid may ascribe personal significance to this city. Mercury Conjunct Fides, Orb: 0 deg. 20 min. Fides was the ancient Roman goddess of faith and trust. She was portrayed as a young woman dressed in white and wearing a white veil or crowned with an olive branch. Fides was typically depicted holding a cup, a turtle, or a military insignia. The Roman senate kept treaties with foreign countries in her temple on Capitoline Hill for safe keeping. The name Fides is the root of the English word fidelity. This asteroid may bestow a trustworthy, dutiful, steadfast and loyal character. Mercury Conjunct Flammario, Orb: 0 deg. 48 min. This asteroid was named in honor of French astronomer Camille Flammarion. Flammarion was a prolific author in addition to a respected scientist. He wrote on the



subjects of popular science, science fiction, spiritualism and reincarnation. He favored approaching spiritual subjects from a scientific point of view. Flammarion was the first to suggest the names Amalthea and Triton for the moons of Jupiter and Neptune. This asteroid may draw attention to the subjects of celestial science and the spiritual world. The composition of literature may become a favored pursuit. Mercury Conjunct Khufu, Orb: 0 deg. 30 min. Khufu was the second Pharaoh of ancient Egypt's 4th Dynasty. He was the son of King Sneferu and Queen Hetepheres. His full name is Khnum-Khufu, meaning "Protected by Khnum". Khnum, the ram-headed god known as "the Divine Potter", was portrayed in Egyptian myth and art creating human bodies on his potter's wheel. Khufu had nine sons and fifteen daughters with his wives Meritetes I, Henutsen, and two other queens whose names are not known. His son Djedefre became his regal successor. Not much else is known of Khufu's reign, yet the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza is commonly attributed to him. This asteroid may grant personal importance to the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, the epoch in which Khufu reigned. It may also bestow creative, fecund, productive and prolific qualities. Craftsmanship, leadership and architectural design and construction may be favored pursuits. Mercury Conjunct Mancunia, Orb: 0 deg. 28 min. Mancunia is the Latin name of the city of Manchester, England. Manchester was the birthplace of this asteroid's discoverer, Harry Edwin Wood (1881-1946). This city is located in northwestern England, north of the Cheshire Plain and south of the mountain range known as the Pennines. The recorded history of Manchester dates back to the year 79 CE, when a Roman fort called Mamucium was constructed there. In the Middle Ages Manchester was a manorial township. The city's population boomed uncontrollably in the 19th Century, coinciding with the burgeoning Industrial Revolution. Manchester was then and continues to be a center of manufacturing. This asteroid may ascribe personal importance to Manchester. Mercury Conjunct Mattiaca, Orb: 0 deg. 21 min. This asteroid's title is derived from Mattiacum, the Latin name of Wiesbaden, Germany. Wiesbaden was the hometown of this asteroid's discoverer, Franz Kaiser (1891-1962). Currently boasting fifteen hot springs, Wiesbaden is one of Europe's oldest spa towns. Its German name literally translates to "Meadow Baths". The first historical mention of these healing waters can be traced to Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia. The springs of



Wiesbaden have attracted such eminent visitors as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Richard Wagner and Johannes Brahms. The Roman settlement of Aquae Mattiacorum ("Waters of the Mattiaci") was established in what is now Wiesbaden in the year 121 CE. The Mattiaci were a Germanic tribe indigenous to the region. The name Wiesbaden has been ascribed to the city since at least 830 CE, when it was recorded as such by Charlemagne's biographer Einhard. In addition to its hot springs, Wiesbaden is renowned for its beautiful historic architecture, such as the baroque Biebrich Palace and St. Elizabeth's, a Russian orthodox cathedral. Wiesbaden is also the capital of the German federal state of Hesse. This asteroid may ascribe personal significance to Wiesbaden, its culture and its history. It may also emphasize the importance of hot springs, healing waters and spas. Mercury Conjunct Newtonia, Orb: 0 deg. 09 min. This asteroid was named in honor of English astronomer, alchemist, mathematician, physicist, natural philosopher and Christian theologian Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727). Newton's tome Philosophae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687) is considered one of the most essential texts to Western scientific thought. In it he described the concept of universal gravitation, as well as his three laws of motion. These laws laid the foundation for classical mechanics and dominated the scientific worldview for centuries after Newton's death. Newton practiced an unorthodox form of Christianity and wrote extensively on Biblical interpretation. He also invented the first reflecting telescope, developed a theory of color, developed an empirical law of cooling, studied the speed of sound, sought the famed Philosopher's Stone of alchemy, and translated occult works such as the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismetigus. This asteroid may bestow an aptitude for excellence in the areas of knowledge advanced by Newton. Mercury Conjunct Peitho, Orb: 0 deg. 04 min. Peitho was the ancient Greek goddess of persuasion, seduction and charming speech. Her Roman equivalent was the goddess Suadela, whose name is related to the Latin verb suadere, meaning "to urge". Suadere is the root of the word persuade. Peitho was an attendant of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. She is sometimes said to be the daughter of Aphrodite and Hermes, as her area of expertise combines attraction and wit. She has also been referred to as the daughter of the oceanic Titans Tethys and Oceanus. She is typically portrayed as a beautiful young woman, often with a dove and a ball of binding twine.

Mars

Your Drive and Ambition: What You Want To Achieve Mars Conjunct Algunde, Orb: 0 deg. 32 min. This asteroid was named for Saint Algunde, also known as Saint Aldegunais or Saint Aldegonde(639-684). Algunde was a Frankish abbess. She was related to the Merovingian royal family. After choosing life in the convent over marriage, Algunde was said to have miraculously walked across the waters of the Sambre river in northern France. On the banks of that river she founded a nunnery, which later became the famous Benedictine Maubeuge Abbey. This asteroid may bestow religious and/or mystical inclinations, as well as an aptitude for leadership and the foundation of traditions or institutions. Mars Conjunct Colchis, Orb: 0 deg. 38 min. Colchis was an ancient geographic region and kingdom in what is now the western side of the country of Georgia. In Greek mythology, Colchis was the location of the Golden Fleece sought by Jason and the Argonauts and the native land of the sorceress Medea. It also may have been home to the tribe of warrior women known to the Greeks as Amazons. This asteroid may ascribe personal significance to this area of the world. Mars Conjunct Hildburg, Orb: 0 deg. 38 min. Hildburg is a Germanic female name literally meaning "Battle Fortress". This asteroid may give defensive, guarded, suspicious, contentious and self-protecting attributes. Mars Conjunct Ilse, Orb: 0 deg. 00 min. This asteroid was named for Princess Ilse, a character in German folklore. According to her legend, Ilse lived in the Harz mountain range. While riding at twilight, she lost her



way and fell into the fairy realm. This asteroid may give a tendency to cross boundaries between worlds. Mars Conjunct Sophia, Orb: 0 deg. 24 min. This asteroid was named in honor of the wife of German astronomer Hugo Hans Ritter von Seeliger (1849-1924). The name Sophia is of Greek origin and means "Wisdom", being derived from sophos, or "wise". This word held great importance in Hellenistic religion and philosophy, and subsequently in neo-Platonism and Gnosticism, as well as Orthodox, Esoteric and Mystical Christianity. Much of Plato's work is concerned with describing the nature of Sophia. The word philosophy itself literally means "Love of Sophia (Wisdom)". In the Hebrew religious texts which were translated into Greek, the word Sophia was used to translate Chokhmah, the Hebrew word for Wisdom (and the second of the ten Sephiroth of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life). Medieval German Christian mystic Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) described Sophia as the personification of divine wisdom, paying tribute to her in both writing and art. Similarly, 16th Century German Protestant mystic Jakob Bohme described Sophia as a cosmic figure with whom he directly communicated. In the 17th Century, an English Christian mystic named Jane Leade described the relationship which she maintained with Sophia. Jane Leade claimed that Sophia revealed the spiritual workings of the Universe to her through a series of visions. In the Gnostic tradition, the figure of Sophia is analogous to both the human soul and the feminine aspect of God. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Sophia is conceptualized as the divine wisdom which was incarnated in the figure of Jesus Christ. This asteroid may bestow sagacity, understanding, clarity of mind, compassion, and the ability to gain knowledge. Mystical and philosophical pursuits may be favored. Marriage may also play an important part in life. Mars Conjunct Wallia, Orb: 0 deg. 04 min. Wallia was the King of the Visigoths from 415 until 419 CE. He rose to power after the previous Visigothic rulers Athaulf and Sigeric were assassinated. Wallia formed a peace treaty with the Roman Emperor Honorius. This treaty granted him the region of Aquitaine. In exchange, he returned Honorius' sister Galla Placidia, who had been taken hostage. He also led his armies to assist Rome in fighting the Vandals in Hispania. Wallia established his court in Toulouse, which continued to be the Visigothic capital throughout the 5th Century. He may be the historical basis for the legendary figure of Walter of Aquitaine, a mythic king attested to in the Nibelungenlied and other works of



Medieval European literature. This asteroid may grant personal relevancy to the historical period of 5th Century Europe, and particularly to rise of the Germanic tribes (such as the Visigoths) which ushered in the fall of the Roman Empire during that time.

Jupiter Expansion, Growth, and Adventure: Areas You Enjoy Exploring

Jupiter Conjunct Bohemia, Orb: 0 deg. 41 min. Bohemia is a historical region in central Europe which occupies the Western half of the Czech Republic. It is bordered by Germany, Austria, Poland and the Czech region of Moravia. The name Bohemia is derived from the Germanic Boi-Heim, meaning "Home of the Boii". The Boii were a Celtic tribe who had inhabited the region since the Iron Age. There is some evidence of the influence of Iranian religions, such as the worship of the god Mihr (Mithra), in the area prior to its adoption of Christianity in the 9th Century. In 19th Century France, the term "bohemian" was used to describe the unconventional lifestyle of marginalized European artists, writers and vagabonds. These creative and free-spirited people were connected in the French imagination to the traveling bands of Romani (Gypsies), many of whom came from Bohemia. This asteroid may attach importance to the geographic region of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). It may also confer the proclivity to live a life considered by others to be non-traditional.

Saturn Seriousness, Honesty, and Responsibility: Things You Take Seriously

Saturn Conjunct Aegle, Orb: 0 deg. 17 min. Aegle is an ancient Greek name meaning "Brightness" or "Splendor". This name may refer to several distinct characters from Greek mythology. One Aegle was the most beautiful of the Naiads, a group of female nature spirits presiding over fountains, springs, streams, pools and lakes. This exceptional naiad gave birth to the three Charities, goddesses of charm, beauty, fertility and kindness. The Charities names were Aglaea ("Beauty"), Euphrasyne ("Mirth") and Thalia ("Good Cheer"). Another mythological character bearing the name Aegle was one of the Hesperides, a sisterhood of nymphs charged with guarding Hera's garden of Golden Apples. This divine garden was a gift to the Queen of the Gods upon her marriage to Zeus from Gaia, the Earth Goddess.



Yet another Aegle was one of the daughters of Asclepius, the god of healing and medicine. She was the personification of the radiant glow of good health. This asteroid may bestow extraordinary beauty and good health as well as a amicable character. Intelligence, talent and good fortune are likely as well. Saturn Conjunct Aristoteles, Orb: 0 deg. 38 min. This asteroid was named in honor of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE), student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great.

This genus takes its name from Georg Joseph Kamel (also known as Camellus), a 17th Century Moravian Jesuit missionary. Camellus was a botany enthusiast noted for describing in detail the flora of the Philippine Islands, particularly the island of Luzon. The most famous species of the Camellia genus is Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. The leaves of this plant are used to prepare one of the world's most popular beverages. Infusions of tea leaves have been consumed in Asia since at least 2730 BCE. One Chinese legend relates how the Emperor Shennong discovered the brew when the wind fortuitously blew tea leaves into his cup of heated water. Tea has become a quintessential element of Asian, Indian, and later British and international culture. This asteroid may draw attention to the consumption of this beverage. It may also give a love of botanical science and exploration. The continent of Asia may hold personal significance. Saturn Conjunct Eduarda, Orb: 0 deg. 21 min.



This asteroid was named in honor of Heinrich Eduard von Lade (1817-1904), a wealthy German businessman, banker and vintner. Lade was also an amateur astronomer with a particular interest in selenography, or the mapping of the Moon. He built an astronomical observatory for just this reason. He also commissioned the creation of a Lunar globe sculpted in minute detail. The name Eduard (Edward) is derived from a compound of the Old English words ead, meaning "riches" or "blessed" and weard, meaning "guard". Thus it roughly translates to "Guard of Riches", which was indeed Lade's job as a banker. This asteroid may confer Lade's interest in Lunar matters. It may also grant a talent for success in financial and commercial endeavors. Winemaking may become an area of interest. Saturn Conjunct Hertha, Orb: 0 deg. 54 min. Hertha (or Nerthus) was an ancient Germanic-Scandinavian Earth Mother goddess associated with the fertility of people, animals and the land. She was considered to be among the Vanir, a group of terrestrial deities. German mythologist Jacob Grimm asserted that Hertha/Nerthus was the same entity as Erda, the Norse goddess from whose name the word Earth is derived. This asteroid may bequeath fecund, productive and nurturing qualities. Motherhood and creation may play a crucial role in life. The importance of the planet upon which we reside may be abundantly emphasized. Saturn Conjunct Kythera, Orb: 0 deg. 12 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Kythira, one of the seven Ionian Islands off the western coast of Greece. Kythira is the second largest island in the region, and due to its rocky terrain and strong winds, also the second least populated. In the second millennium BCE a Minoan colony was established on this island. In 424 BCE it came under the control of Athens. During this era Kythira was considered sacred to the goddess Aphrodite. Since then the island has been ruled by Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Venetian, French and British governments. Its strategic naval location has made it desirable to military commanders in the region for centuries. This asteroid may ascribe personal relevancy to this island and its vibrant history. The themes associated with Aphrodite; love, beauty, sensuality and pleasure; may also be highlighted by this minor planet's influence. Saturn Conjunct Lilith, Orb: 0 deg. 37 min. This asteroid was named in honor of French Classical composer Lili Boulanger (1893-



1918). Lili Boulanger began life as a child prodigy from a family immersed in music. Her talent was noticed by the age of two, and by the age of five she was accompanying her sister Nadia to music lessons at the Conservatoire de Paris, where her father Ernest Boulanger taught. Her mother Raissa Myshetskaya was a Russian princess who met Ernest while attending the Conservatoire. Lili sang and played violin, piano, harp and cello. She also wrote several musical compositions, including her 1913 Faust et Helene, which won her the prestigious Prix de Rome scholarship at the age of 19. Boulanger's immune system had become weakened due to a childhood disease, and she struggled with illness throughout her short life. She died at the age of 24 of Chron's disease. Her sister Nadia went on to become a world famous composer and music teacher. In ancient Sumerian mythology, Lilith was a nocturnal female spirit associated with darkness, wind and storms. She was feared as a harbinger of disease and death, and was sometimes correlated to the screech owl. In Medieval Jewish folklore (such as that recorded in the Alphabet of Ben Sira), Lilith is portrayed as the first wife of Adam, the first man created by God. This interpretation may have arisen from the dual accounts of the creation of humanity in the Book of Genesis. Lilith also figured prominently in Medieval demonology, where she was cast as the consort of Asmodeus, the Demon King. Spanish Kabbalistic writers of the 13th Century also expounded on the mythos of Lilith. Her character can be found in Romantic literature, such as Goethe's Faust, where she is portrayed as the dangerous and seductive femme fatale. It may be noted that the Faust tale was the subject of one of Lili Boulanger's most celebrated works. Romantic poets such as Robert Browning and Dante Rosetti paid homage to Lilith, as did thepainters of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In art and literature she is typically portrayed accompanied by serpents, representing the Biblical serpent who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. This asteroid may give prodigious creative genius, but also a danger of severe illness and early death. Seductive, alluring, intense, enigmatic and nocturnal attributes may manifest, as may an affinity for storms You may become feared or perceived as dangerous by others. Saturn Conjunct Monterosa, Orb: 0 deg. 08 min. This asteroid was named in honor of the Monterosa (literally meaning "the Mountain Rose"), a ship utilized by the University of Hamburg in their North Sea voyages. This asteroid may give a penchant for marine navigation, exploration and recreation. The flora endemic to mountainous environs may also acquire personal significance. Saturn Conjunct Rhodope, Orb: 0 deg. 56 min. In Greek mythology, Rhodope was a Thracian queen married to King Haemus. Haemus was the son of Boreas, the spirit of winter and the cold north wind. Haemus and Rhodope foolishly compared themselves to Zeus and Hera, the king and queen of the gods. For this



act of blasphemous hubris the gods transformed them into mountain ranges. Haemus became the Balkan Mountains (known in ancient times as Haemus Mons) and Rhodope became the Rhodope Mountains. The Rhodope Mountains lie mostly in modern-day western Bulgaria, and partially in eastern Greece. These mountains are rich in natural water sources. Their rivers and streams provide hydroelectric power to much of Bulgaria. The mountains are also a popular tourist destination, praised for their scenic beauty and pleasant climate. Agriculture and mineral mining also contribute to the region's economy. The Thracians were the first culture known to inhabit the Rhodope Mountains. In the Middle Ages they were alternately ruled by the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. In the 14th Century the region was occupied by the Ottoman Turks during the Bulgarian-Ottoman Wars. The Rhodope Mountains are home to several notable fortresses and monasteries, including the Bachkovo Monastery. Founded in 1083, the Bachkovo Monastery is one of the oldest Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Europe. This asteroid may ascribe personal importance to the geographic region of the Rhodope Mountains. It may also confer vain pretensions which lead to an eventual fall from grace. Saturn Conjunct Troja, Orb: 0 deg. 21 min. This asteroid was named for the ancient city of Troy. In Greek mythology, Troy is best known as the epicenter of the ten year Trojan War, which was fought between the Trojans and the Achaeans (Greeks). The Trojan War began when Paris, a Trojan prince, abducted Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world at the time, and Paris had been promised marriage to "the most beautiful woman in the world" by the goddess Aphrodite. The decade long war ended with the utter destruction of Troy. At the end of the war, the Greeks pretended to admit defeat and offered the Trojans a magnificent horse statue as a gift. Once the monumental horse was brought through the gates of the city, the Trojans discovered to their horror that it was hollow inside and filled with armed Greek warriors. After disembarking the horse, the Greeks easily sacked Troy, burning it to the ground. The legend of this war was immortalized in two epic works by the Greek poet Homer; the Iliad, which describes life near the end of the war, and the Odyssey, which recounts the perilous adventures of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he attempted to return home after the war. Roman writers such as Virgil and Ovid also used the Trojan War as a literary subject. The Romans traced their origins back to the Trojan prince Aeneas, who escaped the



burning city and traveled to the Italian peninsula. His life is the subject of Virgil's Aeneid. In the mid 19th Century European archaeologists such as Frank Calvert and Heinrich Schliemann began to excavate a site in Hisarlik, western Turkey, near the town of Tire. This site became associated with the legendary Troy. This asteroid may ascribe personal relevancy to the mythos of the Trojan War, as well as to the geographic region of western Turkey. Saturn Conjunct Zita, Orb: 0 deg. 56 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma (1892-1989). Princess Zita became the last Empress of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Queen of Bohemia. Princess Zita was born in the Italian region of Tuscany. She was named for a 13th Century Italian saint. She was the 17th child of Robert I of Parma, a Duke who had been deposed by the unification of Italy in 1859, and the 5th child of Robert's second wife, Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal. Robert had a total of 24 children with his two wives. Princess Zita and her siblings grew up traveling between several locations in Europe. They became fluent in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and English. Zita was educated at a convent. She considered becoming a nun as several of her sisters had, and remained devoutly religious throughout her life. In 1911 Zita married Archduke Charles of Austria. Both Charles and Zita were members of the Royal House of Hapsburg. At the time of their marriage, Charles was second in line for the Austrian throne. He became first in line when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was murdered in Sarajevo in 1914, the event which catalyzed the beginning of World War I. During the war which ensued, Charles became a general. Zita was put in a strange situation, as she had brothers leading troops against Austria for Belgium and Italy. Because of her Italian birth, she also came to be viewed with suspicion by some Austrians. Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria died at the age of 86 in 1916, leaving the throne to Charles. Charles and Zita were coronated in Budapest that year, although their festivities were dampened by the ongoing war. By 1919 World War I had ripped the Austrian Empire apart. Charles, Zita and their children were forced into exile first in Switzerland, then on the Portuguese island of Madeira. In 1922 Charles developed bronchitis and pneumonia, which quickly led to his untimely death at the age of 34. Zita was eight months pregnant with their 8th child at the time of his death. She and the children moved again, this time to Spain. Zita mourned Charles for the remaining 67 years of her life, wearing black until the day she died.



In 1929 Zita moved her family to Belgium to be educated. In 1940 when the Nazis invaded Belgium, Zita and her children again became refugees. The moved to Portugal, then to America and finally to Quebec. In 1952 Zita returned to Europe, settling in Luxembourg. She died at the age of 96 in 1989. In 2009 Yves Le Saux, the Bishop of Le Mans, France, began the official process of beatification (sainthood) for Zita. Charles was beatified in 2004, sometimes being referred to as Blessed Karl. This asteroid may ascribe personal importance to the life and times of Princess Zita. The political changes which occurred in Europe during the two World Wars may become a matter of significance.

Together they ruled the Earth during the Golden Age, an idyllic time of peace and prosperity. Their children were Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Ceres, Pluto and Vesta. As the Roman Saturn corresponded to the Greek Kronos, Ops' Greek equivalent was the Titaness Rhea, primordial mother of the Olympian gods. Ops, perceived as a chthonic goddess dwelling inside the Earth, was typically portrayed in art enthroned and holding a queenly scepter or a stalk of grain. Her name may be etymologically connected to the Sanskrit apnas, meaning "riches, property". This linguistic connection implies an ancient Proto-Indo-European origin for this earthly divinity. In Rome Ops was honored at an elaborate temple on Capitoline Hill, near the temples of her children Juno and Jupiter. Her festival of Opalia was celebrated on December 19th.

In the 1860s homesteaders from the east coast flooded into Nebraska, eager to claim free land granted to them by the government. As so few trees could be found on the land, many settlers built homes from sod. In 1867 Nebraska became the 37th state in the Union. Its capital was moved from Omaha to Lancaster, which was renamed Lincoln in honor of the recently assassinated US President.

Vienna is the host city of both the United Nations and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). It is currently the tenth largest city by population in the European Union.



Vienna began as a Celtic settlement around 500 BCE. In 15 BCE a Roman border town was established there, as the Roman legions battled the Germanic tribes for control of the region. The origin of the name Vienna is unclear. It may either derive from the Celtic Vedunia, meaning "Forest Stream", or from the Latin name of the Roman fort Vindobona, meaning "White Base". In the Middle Ages Vienna was the seat of the Babenberg Dynasty. This noble family was replaced by the powerful House of Hapsburg in 1440, consequently making Vienna the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. From this time on, the city was a major European center of commerce, diplomacy, science and the arts. In the 16th and 17th Centuries the noble city was ravaged by both the Black Plague, which killed one third of its citizens, and the attacks of marauders from the Ottoman Empire. In 1804 Vienna became the capital of the newly formed Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1918 after World War I, Vienna became the capital of the First Austrian Republic. During World War II the city was captured by Nazi Germany and besieged by British and American forces. Classical music, opera and theatre have traditionally flourished in Vienna. The city is globally renowned for its formal balls, as well as for its exquisite architecture and numerous scenic parks and gardens. Vienna is also home to many prestigious colleges, universities and museums. Notable residents of Vienna have included Classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791); Romantic composer Johann Strauss I (1804-1849) and his son "the Waltz King" Johann Strauss II (1825-1899); founder of the individual school of psychology Alfred Adler (1870-1937); founder of the analytical school of psychology Sigmund Freud (1856-1939); Nobel prize-winning animal behavioralist Karl von Frisch (1886-1982); Nobel prize-winning theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958); composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911); and symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862-1918).
